what’s better? ||Killing NKG or banning the troupe? Is it possible to kill him and then banning the troupe?||

[nimble monolith]

||Killing NKG gives one achievement and banshing gives another, and you cant get both in the same save file||

[errant otter]

Where/when do you get that

[nimble monolith]

So you have to choose, neither is objectively "better" though

🔹 An unnecessary spoiler is a spoiler (even a tagged one!) that was not directly requested by the user being helped, such as help referencing in-game content that the player has not necessarily reached - Charms build containing Charms they haven’t found, for example. These spoilers, though generally good-intentioned, can harm a player’s experience as any other spoiler would. Remember the game is non-linear; Always make sure to know what a player has and where they’ve reached. A simple screenshot of their map and inventory would tell you all you need to know.

[icy frigate]

||on ps4 there’s only 1 trophy who says « complete the epic of Grimm’s troupe »||

[nimble monolith]

Oh idk which that is

But I'm guessing it's not ||banish||

idk why I assume everyone is on Steam, mb

[tender jungle]

||why is the bench so far away from the boss?||

||also how do u deal with the multiple down strikes?||

[icy frigate]

yeah on playstation, you can easily platine the game (no speedruns etc)

[simple maple]

context?

[vague hinge]

any hints for getting out of here? ||i got as far as a room with two heavy sentries and a lance (?) sentry, am i going the right way??||

[neat karma]

Just keep going down. But i assume its once you cant anymore where youre stuck

IF thats the case, then ||when youre at the bottom youll be blocked sure, but theres a way around it, on the elevator, while youre going halfway up/down theres a platform you can jump onto||

[vague hinge]

||i've been using the platform and going across, but idk how to get past the room there without dying to everything, am i supposed to go there?||

[amber flume]

the default keyboard bindings suck. what keyboard bindings do you guys use?

[jagged wing]

you are supposed to go that way yes

[vague hinge]

ahh, guess i have to keep trying then lol

[jagged wing]

gl

whoops wrong reply

[vague hinge]

ty!

[jagged wing]

i personally use wasd for movement and looking up/down space to jump f for ||quickcast|| and my mouse buttons for the rest

[burnt oar]

tips for || mantis lords||

[jagged wing]

are you having trouble with any specific attacks?

[burnt oar]

everything

[weak zinc]

||when she tries to dash and poke u u like jump and hit em back and when she throws dem boomerain u can heal once u get into a safe position or if ur full attack em after dodging||

[burnt oar]

i have been trying for 3 hours

[weak zinc]

bro

if at first u dont succeed

[jagged wing]

probably my biggest tip is ||knowing if the boomerang is going to start high or low you can see this by her position on the wall||

[burnt oar]

ok go on

[weak zinc]

wait have u gotten to 2nd phase?

||where theres 2 of em||

[burnt oar]

yeah

[weak zinc]

good enough its just like the first one but stay more in the middle ||when they doin the boomerain or whatever||

[weak zinc]

||only attack the last one that attacks and not the first if you think you arnt quick enough, and try to use spells when its not risky to do so, they have low health!||

[burnt oar]

ok boss

thanks

[weak zinc]

no prob make me proud

[icy frigate]

||NKG is not that hard, but does any1 knows how to dodge ts 😭??||

[weak zinc]

cooked

[jagged wing]

||stay close to where he jumps up||

[icy frigate]

where??

circle the places

the pic is b4 going up

[jagged wing]

||well you cant predict where the fire balls will go very and the only consistent one is right where he jumps up so when he finishes his dash stand close to him and youll have to barely/not move||

[icy frigate]

here?

[jagged wing]

||assuming hes at the end of his dash yes||

[icy frigate]

yes it is before going up

anyways thank you, if it works I’ll beat him easily

[jagged wing]

gl

[frail musk]

||I failed Troupe Master Grimm again lol, but I got farther than I’ve ever gotten with him before. I used these charms. Before I was using Soul Twister in place of Glowing Womb. It seemed to be a great charm, but I could not heal lol. Eventually I only had one life l, and ✨.||

Any ||charm|| recommendations anybody? I was thinking of trying ||Sharp Shadow|| next. I don’t understand how to use ||Shape of Unn|| lol.

I think ||Unbreakable Strength and Quick Slash|| are fine.

I got to a point where ||Grimm would turn into a bunch of bats.|| I assume this is when you are supposed to try healing.

[icy frigate]

Thank you again, I got him 2nd try after your help

[jagged wing]

I would probably say ||U Strength, Quick Slash and soul catcher or grubsong and steadybody||

[jagged wing]

and yes you can get 3 heals in at that moment

[icy frigate]

btw after beating ||NKG|| I got 112%. But I didnt claim the trophy (I’m on ps4). Does anyone knows why?

[jagged wing]

you probably need to beat the game

[icy frigate]

okk I’ll try

[tight bone]

|| yooo, i'm very much stuck on trial of fool. Its the last trophy i need for the platinum and i just want to get it over with. Is there anything and i mean ANYTHING i can do to just be done with it?||

[jagged wing]

what are you mostly strugling with?

[icy frigate]

went from 108 to 111 lol

[tight bone]

||I'm not exactly struggling with anything, maybe the room with spikes at bottom with the flying enemies.||

[tight bone]

Haha, yeah just updated it.

[jagged wing]

well i reccomend having ||nailmasters glory and using the great slash on the primal aspids and mosquitoes||

[icy frigate]

its the most difficult part of the ||3rd one||

[tight bone]

Doesn't really help, only makes the movement more difficult. And i two hit them anyway.

[icy frigate]

||always go up (for the spike moment) and down pogo on every ennemies||

Its simple you’ll see

all about dodging and practicing

[tight bone]

I do that yes. Its more about the whole ||trial draining me and then i die at god tamer||

[icy frigate]

He’s not that hard, but if you need any tips I’ll help

[icy frigate]

lmao you were right, finally I got 112% in 66 hours. For my first true run I’m pretty happy 😂

[tight bone]

Yea please.

[icy frigate]

||Do you have every charm/ nail upgrades??||

[tight bone]

Yep

Expect for the || unbreakable heart||

I do have ||fragile|| though

[icy frigate]

||Firstly, ignore the red little guy, you only need to kill the big one to finish it. And js spam attacks on him (with quick slash) when he’s doing nothing. When he goes fast dash away before he lands (it goes right on you). And for his third attack (the orange weird stuff, js go far far away you can heal and wait for the next attack||

idk if you understand, but you’ll see, js practice

[tight bone]

Okay thanks!

[icy frigate]

np, gl

[silent edge]

||would the Nail arts be efficient for Hornet 2? I still have yet to defeat her and I think using Nail arts would help especially with the Nailmasters Glory I got, current charm loadout is Steady body, Nailmasters glory, Shaman Stone and Mark of pride||

[jagged wing]

could you send a screen of your map and inventory

[forest nest]

||Yeah since hornet is a fast boss that moved a lot being able to hit hard in the moments where you know you can land a hit is better||

[lost rivet]

Now seems like the perfect time to ask for help I'm sure no one else has better things to do at in a minute

[weak zinc]

what is it

[jagged wing]

Silksong in 20 seconds

[weak zinc]

lies!

[jagged wing]

Well yeah but september 4 is really soon

[coarse nest]

So weird seeing a sane and calm channel here

[mortal tendon]

[plucky sable]

does anyone have tips for failed champion?

[urban forge]

what aspects are you struggling with

[coarse nest]

That's up to the mods and admins to deal with

In any case, I'm gonna leave most channels/mute em/etc cuz accidental spoilers
Hk help has good spoiler policy and I like hanging around here so I'll prolly stay

[urban forge]

[frail musk]

I will never be freed from ||Troupe Master Grimm.||

[coarse nest]

Yeah
I knew all the hk lore and all from yt before I played, I picked it up this year after the 2025 announcement

[plucky sable]

I cant find the bars on my keyboard-

||

[coarse nest]

Yea that's it

[plucky sable]

ty it looked different lol

[coarse nest]

What's your charms and inventory

[silent edge]

sweet thx dude

[plucky sable]

||Im struggling with keeping up with him a lot since everything goes so fast btw im talking about dream nail not the other time you fight him hes making my contacts blur a lot||

[forest nest]

Np

[urban forge]

you can ||dreamnail|| during staggers for a lot of soul

and use ||shriek straight after for damage||

[plucky sable]

I cant get past phase 1 😔

[tropic grotto]

Damn, when is Silksong coming out? I want to enjoy the game again, but whenever I hop in, there’s nothing new left. I’ve tried everything, but I still want more.

[silent edge]

what is the easiest way to gain geo? I thought about ||the colloseum of fools|| but it seems very slow

[plucky sable]

I dont have ||double jump|| either

[urban forge]

||dash under when he jumps forward, away when he jumps back (he will do shockwaves, potentially more than one), for charms id recomend at least stregnth, quickslash, and shaman||

[urban forge]

||double jump is helpful to dodge the shockwaves||

it might be worth getting

[plucky sable]

I just got out of ||crystal peak|| and ||howling cliffs|| for a idea on where I am in the game

[urban forge]

ok, you can always come back to it as it is optional, but if you want to do it now, what charms do you have?

[plucky sable]

let me check rq

[bleak warren]

what do you guys think the price of silksong will be?

[urban forge]

a screenshot would be useful

[plucky sable]

and I have 5 ||notches|| btw

[urban forge]

probably like $30

[bleak warren]

okay

[urban forge]

i dont use $ normally but id have guessed £25 and i think thats roughly the same

i may be wrong though im just guessing

[bleak warren]

u guys think they will announced another game soon?

[urban forge]

they confirmed dlc i think

[plucky sable]

which ones ||MOP?||

[urban forge]

||mark of pride||

[plucky sable]

ohhh alr

[urban forge]

also make sure to use ||spells||

[plucky sable]

[jade sedge]

They most likely will if they are already using it

[urban forge]

oh yeah true

[plucky sable]

also what charms should I buy

[urban forge]

i didnt see that

[urban forge]

||shaman stone from salubra||

[plucky sable]

alr

[jade sedge]

||Shamans is the best, quickfocus has its uses too||

[urban forge]

also ||fragile stregnth from leg eater bc it doesnt break if you die in dreams||

alrighty

[noble zealot]

[noble zealot]

ok

huh

[urban forge]

do you have mods?

[noble zealot]

no

[urban forge]

idk then

[lucid echo]

Have y'all ever seen a glitch where you can desolate dive and then stay crouched and start moving across the ground slowly? I did it a few weeks ago and couldn't recreate it

[dawn belfry]

||everytime i have to fight the radiance do i have to kill thk?||

[sweet solstice]

yes

[lucid echo]

|| You mean in order to beat the game and get that ending? Yes. But HK should be easy by that point. ||

[worthy rapids]

do i have to get the simple key to explore the rest of the city of tears or is that area just optional

[feral ginkgo]

Now that silksong's around the corner I actually need to finish the game but my brain loses its funcionality when it comes to metroidvania, any suggestions for when I'm not making any progress for a period?

[dawn belfry]

he is easy

just annoying

tedious every time i want an attempt

[dawn belfry]

also spoiler tag

||hk||

[austere lance]

I think ||Silksong|| needs to be spoilered

[solid heart]

It's the name of the game

That's not a spoiler

[dusky sonnet]

When will silksong multiplayer mod be released soo I can beat it with friends

[pine cypress]

Nah this is crazy🥀😭

[acoustic osprey]

IT says "159/159 encountered"
And "155/159 completed"

Indeed, the hunter doesn't give me the mark

BUT i completed all of the 159

[acoustic osprey]

Steel ball run??

[burnt oar]

@weak zinc i am tried

[weak zinc]

[burnt oar]

i cant beat ||mantis lords||

[weak zinc]

spoiler but also NO

U CAN DO iT

literally i can hop on call rn and try to give u commands literally anyone can but i think you might just need a tutorial video if you are REALLY stuck

[burnt oar]

tutorial vid it is

[regal rover]

Is silksong on ps5 at September 4

[weak zinc]

🙏

[acoustic osprey]

I have checked i have all the needed entries, indeed I have 159 which is more that 146

[weak zinc]

dunno, pc and switch are confirmed

[regal rover]

Okie nice still amazing

[acoustic osprey]

i think my game is tweaking

[burnt oar]

btw which charms are the best?

[weak zinc]

i think you need to complete not encounter

[acoustic osprey]

YEA but i completed all the encountered ones

i checked and i have all them completed, the ones i have

[thick wing]

How do i travel here ?

[weak zinc]

||(to get the mark)||

[wooden ice]

Man fuck ||sly||

[wooden ice]

no way im plat hk before silksong

[weak zinc]

||u like go around from the sewer on the left and go down from the poop area and just crystal dash over||

[thick wing]

Okay

[slow pasture]

||Is this an adequate setup for pantheon 5?||

[weak zinc]

AY AY BRO SPOILER

[thorny token]

Seems good enough

[acoustic osprey]

uhh ok imma explain better

I literally triple checked AND, the entries I have are ALL COMPLETED, but still it says 155/159

[serene heron]

||Time for the last and final hollow knight marathon I have 13 days to 112% any advice to speedrun the pantheons besides git gud ||

[acoustic osprey]

hunter says I have encountered all the beasts, but i still need to complete some of them, but they are all completed on the journal

[dawn grove]

||When he jumps back and slams the ground just jump over the shockwave and do not engage with the nail. Only engage when he leaps into the air to slam you. Dash under him and hit him like twice so you can be ready for whatever he does next. He can't do the same attack more than 3 times in a row, so when he does an attack 3 times in a row he will definitely switch to another attack. You may be able to sneak in a heal in the very corner after he gets up and starts slamming the ground.

There's also a very simple cheese. When he's down if you hit his armour and not his face it resets the timer, so he stays down. You can keep hitting his armour to dream nail him for soul and to heal.||

[thorny token]

||make sure you've got the best charm setup etc and then just go through and practice any bosses you struggle with in the hall of gods||

[steep talon]

||if you can comfortably do all bosses with that then you're good||

[serene heron]

What’s a good set for ||abs rad||

[slow pasture]

ok thx

[elder tangle]

Huh I thought there was an achievement for completing the game on steel soul. Did I remember wrong?

[robust ridge]

There is

[acoustic osprey]

maybe only on steam

[serene heron]

There’s one on ps5 so idk

[steep talon]

on xbox too

[thorny token]

||depends whether you like nail or spell builds, but usually charms like qslash, shaman stone, spell twister, strength, steady body, grubsong dreamweilder nmg etc all are good options so just make a load out of your fav from that||

[weak zinc]

||HMMMMM there is in total 164 entries, with some bosses and DLC stuff not counted, so maybe those entries that you have have mostly unneeded stuff, and so you may need to explore more to unlock and see whatever it is you might need, or there might be a chance its bugged XD||

[thorny token]

(and there is on all platforms)

[thorny token]

Probably he got the ones that don't count towards it that bumped up his total

[weak zinc]

THATS WHAT IM SAYIN

[steep talon]

do all of your entries have a description underneath them?

[civic rose]

y’all think i can 100% all of Hollow knight (all achievements, ||p5 too||) before silk song

[thorny token]

||menderbug etc||

[acoustic osprey]

ok imma check again only the needed entries

[acoustic osprey]

YES

[thorny token]

So 112%?

Yeah it's possible

[elder tangle]

I didn't really consider a seperate game mode that doesn't do much a spoiler tbh

[thorny token]

There's a website I think

[civic rose]

wish me luck

[thorny token]

Well you don't unlock it until post completion so yes it's a very heavy spoiler

[steep talon]

@acoustic osprey if you wanna send me a vid of you scrolling through everything, idm comparing with mine if that helps

[bronze pagoda]

100%, im only missing 2 achievements myself ||(Both steel soul ones)||

[thorny token]

If you're not sure use tags on everything to save any mistakes

[elder tangle]

Sure

[weak zinc]

||a lot of ppl miss durandoos, charged lumaflies, flukemunga, the void tendrils, try checkin for those XD||

[acoustic osprey]

wait guys, the problem here are NOT the needed entries encountered

but the completed ONES, the hunter indeed says I have completed the journal and fighted all the beasts, BUT he won't give me the mark cause he says i still need to complete some of them

the game indeed says "155/159 COMPLETED"

BUT i actually have completed all of them, like i said the all have description under

[rapid lotus]

that was my first thought ive played enough to get a few bosses but I know i few earlier and late bosses that ill struggle with

[rapid lotus]

where u get ball from?

[thorny token]

None of them are like ||kill x many more to unlock hunters notes||?

[acoustic osprey]

its a jojo reference

[weak zinc]

nahh

[acoustic osprey]

YEA, none of them

[thorny token]

Hmmm

[rapid lotus]

never heard of it

[thorny token]

Strange

[acoustic osprey]

THAT'S WHAT IM SAYING

[grizzled hatch]

|| you need to keep exploring the area below you ||

[elder tangle]

I'm going through all achievements on PS5 and the only one I'm missing is defeating the normal ||Hollow Knight|| and there is nothing ||Steel Soul|| related listed among the PS4 achievements on the wiki either

[slow pasture]

Is there any setup for ||p5 markov|| though?

[robust ridge]

Oh PS5 achievements are different

Since the policy is ||you need to be able to finish them all in one playthrough||

[elder tangle]

Checking the other platforms achievements there is way less on PS yeah. Strange

I'll take it I guess

[acoustic osprey]

NVM i just checked again i missed some descriptions

[robust ridge]

||Bring shaman stone and nailmaster's glory

[rapid lotus]

any tips for || trial of fool ||

[fringe holly]

I'm not a big fan of spells

[robust ridge]

Use spoiler tags

Also, those make it 10x easier

[fringe holly]

Sowwy

My bad

[robust ridge]

The reason people find it hard is because ||nail is by far the worst combat option|| there

[fringe holly]

Ohhh

Holly shrimp, I'm cooked

[rapid lotus]

im finding that out again but I havent played in 4 months

[robust ridge]

do you have all equipment btw?

if not, I'd recommend coming back later

it's the hardest challenge in the base game

[fringe holly]

||You talk about having improved the sting?||

[steep talon]

||how far are you into the game?||

[robust ridge]

Literally everything

[elder tangle]

If you don't like ||spells||utilizing ||Nail arts|| can help quite a bit. Equip ||Nailmasters glory|| if possible

[robust ridge]

||do you have every charm, every ability, every mask, nail, and vessel upgrade, and every combat ability?||

that's what I mean by everything

[steep talon]

||yeah it's way more difficult than the first two||

[fringe holly]

Lemme check

I forgor that

I play without paying attention to the

%

||But I have most of the things||

[silver dawn]

i still dont have a lot of the map..

[fringe holly]

||I think I was missing a few charms||

[silver dawn]

and i just completed ||radiance...||

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa

[rapid lotus]

I could never

[elder tangle]

You can check out a speedrun of it. They use ||nail arts|| a lot. Ofc you don't have to take it to that extreme, but just so you see how much work they can do

[fringe holly]

Ohhh, really tyyy

[fading hull]

guys how much is silskong gonna cost?

[fringe holly]

I like that better

[silver dawn]

1 peso

[fringe holly]

I don't think it's that expensive, but more than Hollow Knight

[fading hull]

40?

[rapid lotus]

a crisp high five and a bucket of popcorn

[robust ridge]

The main thing is that ||dash slash and great slash one shot all the hard flying enemies if you have max nail||

[elder tangle]

Yup

[fringe holly]

Nah, I guess 25 or 30

[silver dawn]

please god dont let it be more than $35

[fading hull]

a WHOLE bucket or a half bucket?

[fading hull]

wasn't hk like 30?

idk i got it for 5 during steam sales

[rapid lotus]

I hope its 90 like all good AAA games jkjk

[elder tangle]

HK is 15

[fading hull]

[grizzled hatch]

[radiant mortar]

Oh same

[radiant mortar]

That was my biggest problem

It still is

[grizzled hatch]

|| pure vessel is a test of pretty much everything you’ve known in the game up to this point. He’s a hard as fuck fight to learn and one that took me 10 hours straight to be able to fight in the pantheons. If we can go to dms I can give some tips if you want ||

[radiant mortar]

But I would ||pogo whenever you get the chance and jump before most attacks bc jumping is rlly good in that fight||

[maiden fable]

sure if you have the time

[maiden fable]

the moment I jump it does the ||multiple nail throw thing and it hits me literally everytime||

I just have to wait to see what it's doing before jumping

[radiant mortar]

||jump when he’s far from you, if you’re too close and he does the sword attack dahs through him||

So I have a 3rd party switch controller and I'm trying to play hollow knight through gamepass
The problem is that the game doesn't recognize my controller when it's in switch mode, and when it's in Xbox mode the buttons are swapped(x and y, a and b), anyone know any fixes?

When I try to add the game through steam and enable steam input it doesn't recognize it in either mode

[tawny sapphire]

#1057825333841240104 or just you know rebind the controls

[acoustic sigil]

?tag controller

[languid radish]

Common fixes for controller issues

Try these separately first, but if they don't work, then you may need to try a combination of them.

• Use Steam's controller settings, enable Steam Inputs from the game properties, and check controller configuration support through Steam's Big Picture mode.
• Toggle "Controller Native Input" in the game, found at Main Menu ᐅ Options ᐅ Controller. Restart your game after changing it.
• Unplug your controller before launching the game, then plug it back in on the title screen.
• If using a Playstation/Nintendo controller on Linux/Steamdeck, see this information.
• Use a program to map controller inputs to keyboard inputs, either through Steam or a third party program.
  • This is usually only necessary for unusual controllers, or when the above options don't work.
    Visual examples for Steam settings:
    fig 1 | fig 2

[grizzled hatch]

|| you should be able to, that’s the way you need to go ||

[acoustic sigil]

You are not following the route I painted then

[tawny sapphire]

That’s the wrong way…

[mellow depot]

Like my controller works

[mellow depot]

But the problem is that when I press the b button, game says I pressed a

And I have no idea how to change this

[tawny sapphire]

again either ask in #1057825333841240104 they’ll be able to help you way more with technical stuff or just rebind your controls

Why’d that send twice

[stark fiber]

||Ok so it turns out I never explored that section fully, I'm stupid :3||

[mellow depot]

Is there a way to change it so that it shows the location of the button instead of the button itself, like instead of saying "x" it'll show the left button

[neat karma]

I hate the reorderrr im so used to this shithole being in the middle 😔

[mellow depot]

That sounded really condusing

[tawny sapphire]

I have no idea I have never used controller

[neat karma]

I dont think so, just imagine youre using an xbox controller

[tawny sapphire]

ismoil is a #hk-help hater

[neat karma]

It goes like
Y
X B
A

[mellow depot]

I've never used one, I've always used switch

Can't wait to get to a crucial point in ss and fuck it up by pressing the wrong button

[neat karma]

Theres probably a mod for that actually but i couldnt tell you

the yellow thing

[jade sedge]

||Your dreamgate, you can teleport to it||

[hollow crest]

||is there any way to predict the beams during the climb against absolute radiance or do you have to rely on reaction time||

[mellow depot]

The button prompt switcher mod works on Xbox PC right

[neat karma]

I havent personally tested it but you could try

[stoic cedar]

||as u ascend higher into the climb, the beams become more accurate so u can use that fact to somewhat be able to discern where the laser would approximately go. But it’s pretty much just reaction time yea||

[hollow wolf]

[urban forge]

||It allows you to get soul for spells||

[coarse nest]

Indirectly

[urban forge]

||tiso I think||

[vernal mist]

||should i sell my hallownest seals?||

or do they serve a purpose

[coarse nest]

Spoiler tags

[hollow wolf]

||they provide mula||

[urban forge]

The only reason not to is to avoid losing the geo

They don't do anything else

[vernal mist]

oh ok

[coarse nest]

They ||exist to be sold, but when you die you don't lose em, so sell em when you need the geo, but don't hoard em||

No other use

[vernal mist]

[vernal mist]

[azure blade]

[azure blade]

[acoustic sigil]

||You have to spoiler tag kings pass, do you think an image of some place is fine||

[azure blade]

I did, but I see your point

I'll do that next time

[hollow wolf]

do yall have any good || charm builds for p3 ||

[azure blade]

the only spoiler is what a single platform looks like in some area they don't know about but I guess you can't be too careful

[acoustic sigil]

It's about not making edge cases, cause then where do you draw the line with images

[thick wing]

set standards or smth

[acoustic sigil]

If this one is fine, which one is not

Grev get out of here

[thick wing]

[azure blade]

[acoustic sigil]

Well you don't have to spoiler an image of something not hollow knight

https://tenor.com/view/stinky-loser-tiny-kitten-explode-gif-15623895175038521381

That's fine untagged

[coarse nest]

[acoustic sigil]

But practically all hollow knight images are spoilers

[coarse nest]

Hell even the opening screen can be a spoiler

Title select game screen

[hollow wolf]

[acoustic sigil]

You are asking about ||nkg||

[hollow wolf]

mainly js his entire kit

i cant avoid the dmg he does

but mainly his || aoe attacks ||

[pulsar owl]

||when he does 4 fire pillars you can you abyss shriek after the 4th pillar, you can shadow dash the "fire rain" at the end of an attack and dash beetween the fire dragons||

[sturdy pivot]

so any help with ||False Knight?||

[hollow wolf]

alright thanks

[hollow wolf]

did u get || vengeful ||

[sturdy pivot]

no

im just starting out

[hollow wolf]

ok

[pulsar owl]

||After 1st hit, you can break a wall at the left of the arena||

[hollow wolf]

when he || jumps, go on the other side, and spam ur nail || thats what i did

[sturdy pivot]

oo

[hollow wolf]

you can also || hit his fireballs upwards with a up slash ||

[robust ridge]

(littlemrlazy don't read this, it's a spoiler) -> ||a new player is not going to get that without beating false knight||

[acoustic sigil]

You needs to learn 3 things
Opportunities to heal (||staggers ||only)
Opportunities to attack, by that I mean, you need to only attack if you know that you can avoid a hit, trading hits is not worth it
Thus you need to learn how to dodge, so try to learn every pattern, learn to dodge them, and learn how to punish them

[sturdy pivot]

im trying, ||but i get hit with strays and i havent learned his moves yet||

[sturdy pivot]

oki

[robust ridge]

do you need to tag ||stagger||

[hollow wolf]

maybe || he somehow skipped false knight and went to vengeful and came back to beat him ||

idk i js asked if he did

[acoustic sigil]

#hk-help message

[acoustic sigil]

Idk you can idrc

[stoic cedar]

Even if he did somehow manage to figure this out, u should still just ask for a screenshot of their inventory instead of naming the ability outright to avoid any potential uncspoilers

[hollow wolf]

alright

[sturdy pivot]

i got|| vengeful after breaking the wall, im kicking his ass totally now||

[pulsar owl]

Gg

[azure blade]

[rough peak]

[rough peak]

[vernal mist]

||where do i use the simple key?||

[neat karma]

[pulsar owl]

||yes||

[tough saffron]

[gaunt crest]

||what order would i need to go in?||

[pulsar owl]

||any, but u have to do the basic one 1st so beating the game without voidheart||

[robust ridge]

||doing the bindings on the pantheons||

[gaunt crest]

||alright thank you!||

[pulsar owl]

||you need to do the bindings and spoilers pls||

[neat karma]

||you need to do bindings in pantheon, note you dont need to do them all at once or all in one pantheon to go to the next||

[tough saffron]

ALL OF THEM?

[tough saffron]

it is spoilered

[pulsar owl]

Oh my bad 💀

[neat karma]

As you can see ||in the door, each circle is a binding, so no not all of them, but most, door opens when it reaches the middle||

[robust ridge]

spoilers don't show properly on mobile sometimes

[pulsar owl]

||try doing one and you will understand||

[tawdry estuary]

||Just beat Soul Master on Steel Soul||

[pulsar owl]

Gg

[tender jungle]

||these suited for mantis lord?||

[robust ridge]

||shaman stone is incredibly good||

||maybe try replacing soul catcher||

[tawdry estuary]

In 2 Hours

[robust ridge]

spoiler tag ||spells||

i'd recommend learning to use them

[steel cliff]

||I suggest using long nail. It helps give you some extra reach so you don’t have to get so close while they’re moving. ||

[robust ridge]

for example, ||vengeful spirit does 3 nail hits of damage||

[neat karma]

?tag uncspoilers @steep talon

[radiant mortar]

Probably not

[languid radish]

🔹 An unnecessary spoiler is a spoiler (even a tagged one!) that was not directly requested by the user being helped, such as help referencing in-game content that the player has not necessarily reached - Charms build containing Charms they haven’t found, for example. These spoilers, though generally good-intentioned, can harm a player’s experience as any other spoiler would. Remember the game is non-linear; Always make sure to know what a player has and where they’ve reached. A simple screenshot of their map and inventory would tell you all you need to know.

[steep talon]

ah fuck my b
realised after lol

[neat karma]

Tbh i disagree, ||the increase lognnail gives is not worth the notches, any others are better in most scenarios||

[radiant mortar]

Didn’t the bot just spoil smt

[neat karma]

No? What

[robust ridge]

charm is allowed

[radiant mortar]

I got told by a mod you can’t say charm

[robust ridge]

what

[radiant mortar]

I had to spoiler tag it

[neat karma]

Thats just not true

[radiant mortar]

Oh ok

[tawdry estuary]

||Remove Wayward Compass||

[neat karma]

So either the mod didnt knoe the rules, or

[robust ridge]

it's on the whitelist in the pins

[neat karma]

Who was it

[radiant mortar]

Idk

Some orange one

[tender jungle]

||my setup is Compass, steady body, longnail||

[robust ridge]

spoiler tags

[vernal mist]

what should i do hear

[radiant mortar]

Go right

[neat karma]

Replacing ||longnail and compass for shaman and using your spell once or twice will outdamage every other charm you have||

[neat karma]

Wait

[tender jungle]

I’m hearing 2 things at once

[robust ridge]

||they have enough notches for shaman and sbody||

currently one is going unused

[neat karma]

So

Is that not what i suggested

[radiant mortar]

Oh wait no jump off

[vernal mist]

did it

got the thing

[neat karma]

Actually ||replacing steady body for soul catcher comboed with shaman is probably your best||

[radiant mortar]

Yeah

Good

[robust ridge]

and ||compass|| too

i was trying to clarify but my wifi is taking like 2 mins to send messages...

[neat karma]

Skill issue

That one sent way faster than 2 minutes

[radiant mortar]

||yeah but all you rlly need is compass cause it lets you one shot any enemy||

[neat karma]

Tags, and you do

||shaman is 3, soul catcher is 2, youve 5||

[robust ridge]

i just switched my network

it only takes like 5-10s now

[tender jungle]

||should I not be using Compass?||

[neat karma]

Please refrain from giving meme answers to serious questions in here

[neat karma]

Its ||worthless in combat as you dont need to check your map mid battle, so why use it in a fight||
